Greetings!
PictureOfDonMany of you know that I live in Greenville, South Carolina.  Greenville is a great place to live and it is full of entrepreneurs starting and leading great companies.  Last week there was an announcement that a new company is coming to town to build electric buses.  What is amazing is that the buses will be able to charge in ten minutes and operate for two hours.

Another announcement last week was that American Truetzschler is opening a facility just north of Greenville in Greer, South Carolina.  The facility will be for the card wire business they bought from John D. Hollingsworth.  They plan to hire 30 employees.  That is always good news.

A friend of mine sent me a link for a sobering map showing the extent of unemployment in the US.  Here's the link.

Have a great week.

Term Definition - Polypropylene Fiber
BalesFor the next few weeks we will be looking at definitions of various types of synthetic fiber used in the nonwovens industry.  We start this week with polypropylene.  Here are some links to check out.

Wikipedia - Polypropylene
Answers.com - Polypropylene
University of Tennessee - Technical details

              Link for definition this week

I always recommend that you print the weekly definition on a color printer and place it on the tables in your canteen.  Here is a link to an inexpensive plastic stand that will protect the page from food spills and make it easy to read.
